Step 2 - Mark Holes

Drill Holes

With a 1-inch paddle bit, begin drilling down an inch or so at a time on each of the four holes (Image A). Then, using a hammer, chisel out the center section left inside the log until your vase has the necessary depth (Image B). You really only need about 4 inches, depending on the size of your arrangement and log.

Step 4 - Add Foil

Add Foam

Cut floral foam to size. (Be sure to soak foam beforehand if you’re using wet foam.) Next, insert into the log so that it sits just below the top and is out of sight. Feel free to skip the foam, but know that your arrangement may not last as long if you’re using fresh flowers.
